The passage given below s followed by questions based on its contents. After reading the passage, choose the best answer to each question.
At this stage of civilization, when many nations are brought in to close and vital contact for good and evil, it is essential, as never before, that their gross ignorance of one another should be diminished, that they should begin to understand a little of one another's historical experience and resulting mentality. It is the fault of the Englishmen to expect the people of other countries to react as they do, to political and international situations. Their genuine goodwill and good intentions are often brought to nothing, because they expect other people to be like us. This would be corrected if they knew the history, not necessarily in detail but in broad outlines, of the social and political conditions which have given to each nation its present character.
